Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the musical minds behind the upcoming Naughty Dog game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive collection: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. This award recognizes their work on Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.
The recent Intergalactic trailer showcased a preview of Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside licensed tracks featured in the game. Known for their iconic work with Nine Inch Nails and acclaimed film scores for directors like David Fincher and Pete Docter, the duo previously won an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, along with numerous Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor's previous game soundtrack contributions include Quake (1996) and the main title theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, a sports drama centered around a love triangle, Ross described their score as "never a safe choice, but always the right one." The contemporary, club-influenced electronic score perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.
Golden Globe Success Underscores Intergalactic's Potential
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with a contemporary game like Intergalactic might seem unexpected, but Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility. Their musical range is evident in the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the enigmatic atmosphere promised for Naughty Dog's space-faring adventure. With online hints suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, their score choice seems particularly fitting.
The Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, a potential departure for Naughty Dog. Given Reznor and Ross's impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack promises to be exceptional, regardless of the final game content.
